and i think that the fact that the current governor of the island has supported romney and romney has spoken for it becoming a state but hasn't talking about english becoming the requirement, that may help romney. but the differences is subtle. >> i don't remember an election where we paid so much election to puerto rico and guam and american samoa. but is it about there's so much talk about will anyone go to the convention with 1,144 gel dates and literally every single one counts? >> we had this conversation in 2008 when the contest between then senator clinton and then senator obama went all the way out. so many states that had never had the opportunity to weigh in on the nomination of our candidate or had the benefit of having the campaigns come and campaign in their states and areas were getting that attention. so you know, i just like to remind people that both from the perspective of the rnc and dnc, this was supposed to be a good thing. it was supposed to be more people from different parts of the country and different parts of whether it's the republican or democratic party d

can romney win down there? >> i think romney can. i think mississippi could be a good playground for romney, quite frankly. it's a fairly new political environment for them in terms of, you know, the way their primary is set up. so you still have romney tied to the barbour clan. has the opportunity to use that network to get that vote out. but this is, you know, one of those situations where i think even if romney wins mississippi tonight and newt or santorum takes the other, it doesn't change really the dynamics in terms of that march towards 1,144 votes. the reality for romney remains the fact that give him all the outstanding winner-take-all state, the rest are proportional. he's not going to pull 50 to 60% of that vote. but as chuck has pointed out, that's not been the trend line here. so i think we're going to see a little more status quo ante coming out of tonight than a lot of people anticipate. >> i'm watching romney. you can't see this, michael. here's romney doing his local shaking hands. he reminds me of prince charles in
